This in from police. Can you help? Ed
We are trying to trace a couple who helped a man as he was being assaulted in Cowes.
Officers received a report regarding an assault which happened on Esplanade Road shortly before midnight on 31 July.
A 60-year-old man was thrown to the ground and punched when he attempted to stop a group of four men who were smashing bottles along the road.
As he was being assaulted by one of the group, a man and a woman came to his aid, causing the group to run off.
The victim suffered bruising to his face and ribs.
Description of suspect
The man who assaulted the victim is described as being white, 6ft 2ins tall, of a medium build and between 19 and 21-years-old.
He has shaven short mousey hair and was wearing light grey baggy tracksuit bottoms and a dark hooded top.
